An unexploded bomb from WWII was discovered in the River Thames early last Sunday, which led authorities to cancel all flights Monday out of neighboring London City Airport. Because bombs are not only bad, they are also highly inconvenient.

The Russian Tu-95 ‘Bear’ isn’t just a relic of the Cold War, with the potential for a nuclear payload capable of untold devastation. It’s eight contra-rotating propellers also enable to it hold the reputation of the current Loudest Plane In The World. This is what it’s like inside.

Navigation systems including those found in commercial flights may be disrupted or jammed completely across the southwest U.S. over the next couple of weeks. That sounds pretty bad but do not be too alarmed, it’s not Red Dawn. It’s just the U.S. Air Force and its massive annual Red Flag war exercises based out of…

An Air Force sergeant learned the hard way that singling out black women and ranting about how you want to fight them while literally in uniform is not the way to keep a job. Tech. Sgt. Geraldine Lovely is under investigation for a video she posted this weekend in which she admonished lower-ranking “black females” for…

A U.S. Navy EP-3 surveillance plane, flying over international waters, was harassed by a Russian Su-27 Flanker fighter jet yesterday. The Russian fighter jet flew within five feet of the American aircraft, in what Navy officials told CNNwas an “unsafe intercept.”

The details about Hawaii’s false missile alarm are still trickling out, and with each new one, the error becomes both more confounding and more terrifyingly slapstick. On Tuesday, the Federal Communications Communication released a preliminary report on the matter, revealing that it wasn’t an honest mistake after all,…

We’ve all been there, circling the parking lot, looking for just the right spot. And then you hit a curb, and you feel very dumb. I imagine that’s exactly how these U.S. Navy pilots felt after knocking off their $21 million MH-60S Seahawk’s tailwheel while trying to park at a New York City heliport.

It was only Saturday when a false alert went out to cell phones across Hawaii warning that a ballistic missile was heading for the state – and more than that, it was “NOT A DRILL.” Officials later said that the employee who sent the alert would be reassigned, not fired, and, indeed, images of the warning system’s user…

Nuclear bombs—with a few exceptions—are designed to create huge explosions. In some cases, they’re supposed to have extra bits and pieces in the service of making even HUGER (it’s a word now) explosions. Occasionally all of that fails, and what you get is called a “fizzle.” Here’s why it happens.

Jack O’Banion, Vice President of Strategy and Customer Requirements, Advanced Development Programs for Lockheed Martin may have just unintentionally revealed that America’s next hypersonic warplane is much farther along the development process than previously suggested.

To live your entire life under the oppressive North Korean regime must be terrible. To endure the tasks asked of you as a member of the country’s armed forces, to live in poverty conditions, to serve a dictatorial maniac. Years of oppression, even under the threat of death, caused this as-yet-unnamed twenty-something…

Despite escalating tensions, a wave of political turnover on Saturday, and a tweet from The Jerusalem Post claiming Lebanon has declared war on Saudi Arabia, no official war declaration has been made—yet.

Seventeen American Navy Sailors were killed in a pair of collisions involving two guided-missile destroyers this summer in the Pacific region, and the final Navy report on the incidents, released Wednesday, described the events succinctly, if damningly. “The collisions,” the report said, “were avoidable.”

Fifty-three years ago, at a nuclear silo outside Vale, South Dakota, there was an explosion, the force of which blew the cap off a nuclear missile, sending its warhead falling 75 feet down the shaft of the 80-foot silo. What happened next could’ve been disaster, which was averted, but kept in secrecy for decades. Now,…

Maybe the F-35 program is just not supposed to work out. Despite a week where the system appeared to display a growing sense of maturity, old problems of reliability, pilot hypoxia and lagging airframe deliveries eclipsed progress. But, first, the good news.

Last week, CIA director Mike Pompeo said North Korea could only be “months away” from having the ability to hit the United States with a nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missile. Speaking at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, Pompeo said America needs to behave with the knowledge that North Korea is…

In late 1984, when the first Akula submarine of the Soviet Navy put to sea, it immediately changed the way anti-submarine warfare would be conducted. With the Akula’s arrival the American submarine fleet would no longer enjoy the dramatic undersea advantages they had possessed since the end of the World War II. The…

After distastefully joking to a crowd of Puerto Ricans devastated by Hurricane Maria that they were taking up too much of the budget, Trump later proudly announced in a military briefing that he would be rewarding the armed forces for their relief efforts on the island by ordering “hundreds of millions of dollars” in…
